This workshop is for 13-18 year-olds. Parents must remain at the venue throughout the workshop.

Come join us for a fun day of sculpting **mushrooms** out of clay! Let your creativity flow as you mold and shape your very own unique fungi creations. This event is perfect for both beginners and experienced sculptors alike. Supplies will be provided, so all you need to bring is your imagination. Don't miss out on this chance to get your hands dirty and make some beautiful mushroom art!

We'll be learning how to sculpt with air-dry clay so there is no heating involved in this workshop. Air-dry clay is perfect for getting to know clay and sculpture as a beginner or making fun pieces of art to display at home or gift to a loved one.
